I see more and more of my friends are using Signal, which is awesome! Somehow WhatsApp is still my go-to messenger, and even though it has end-to-end encryption, it is nowhere as secure as Signal. So yeah: let’s all switch to Signal!

OpenKeychain: Easy PGP app for Android
I’ve been using this for a while now and it solves all my issues I had with PGP on Android before. Integrates with K9-mail app and even gets proofs from keybase.io
Encrypt everything!
I’ve been getting into using PGP encryption and signing again lately, and also updated my keybase.io proof for zonk.be with an https version on https://keybase.io/dimipiraat
Keybase.io now offers private folders where you can store data, shared private folders to privately exchange files with other Keybase.io users and public folders which files are automatically signed to prove their validity.
If you’d like to get an invitation for keybase.io, I still have a few to spare. Or if you want to send me encrypted messages, even better, just get my key here and let’s encrypt!
Last but not least: I’ve been using the OpenKeychain app for Android and it is really neat, lots of nice bells and whistles! And they have this step-by-step tutorial to get you started: Email Encryption with Android — A Quick Start Guide
